Now that I think of it, I haven't touched my 360 in about a month.
My 360 took a dive, RROD, i went to the PS3 in January, and have not regretted it. Had the original XBOX but sold that to buy the 360.

Two of the guys that i gamed with online had their respective 360's die on them close to the same time, they were on their 2nd box.

I declined to invest any further in the 360's with the failure rate it had. So it's the PS3 & my trusty PC for gaming.

I own both current gen. systems, but never before owning competing systems at the same time, nor even thinking of doing so. Now of course, the majority of my gaming years were done without a gaming board so this situation never crossed my mind. I had a system (Atari, Sega, Ps1, Ps2), I played the system, and never wondered or cared about how good the other one was.

So, how many of you out there have owned both systems, at the same time?
Lets see I have or have had at one time,, (Not sure if I have the systems that were head to head at the time, but I have owned them at one time)

Odyssey2 / Atari 2600
Sega Master System / NES
Sega Genesis / SNES
Playstation 1 / N64
Playstation 2 / Gamecube / Dreamcast / XBOX (only system that broke)
Playstation 3

I was going to get a 360 instead of a PS3 but I was bitter towards Microsoft for abandoning the XBOX, I figured they would short the platforms life and I had to have The Show!
I never thought to think which was better until the PS2 years (and on) before it was just about what games I liked to play. However the PS3 choice was based somewhat on The Show.

I had a 360 for two years. Got the RROD and bought a Wii. After the 360 was fixed last game I played on it was Mass Effect. Sold the Wii for a PS3 and then eventually sold the 360. I have enjoyed the PS3 a ton more since I got it and the blu-ray movies was the nail in the coffin for the 360.

Re: Do you own a PS3 and Xbox 360?

I think my 360 might be on it's way out......making crazy noises if I start it up(I was getting into finally starting a CHoops legacy last night)....
If it dies, I don't think I'll be replacing it. I never turn it on anymore.
Funny, I have many more games for the 360 than I do the PS3....but none of them held my attention and I kept them thinking I might get interested...but I pop them in and it's...BLAH....and shut if off.
I can't remember back when I didn't have both systems.

Re: Do you own a PS3 and Xbox 360?

Right now I have...

- PS3
- Wii
- PS2
- Xbox
- N64


Owned a 360 for a year and a half but ditched it, wasn't really a huge fan of it. It was probably the RROD and related issues that left such a bad taste in my mouth.

Re: Do you own a PS3 and Xbox 360?

I have a PS3 (PSP too) and a 360. I use the PS3 more for blu-ray and a media client and the 360 for games. Both systems have their strong and weak points.
